Three weeks had passed. Anna and Tori had just finished dance class. They were in the locker room changing.
"I've been meaning to ask you where you got that new ribbon for your hair." Tori said.
"AJ gave it to me." "Isn't it pretty?"
"Yeah." "I still can't believe you two didn't sleep together when she stayed at your house."
"It was nice to just wake up in his arms." "It was very peaceful."
"Yeah but you've been together three months." "Don't you want to?"
"Of course I do." "Like I said before, when the time's right we'll both know." "I'm glad we're not rushing to bed."
AJ had just boarded a plane that was flying time Connecticut to Georgia. He was sitting by the window seat. Suddenly Emily appeared.
"Oh, looks like we're seatmates." Emily said.
"Need help with your bag?" He asked getting up.
"Thanks." He put her carry-on luggage in the overhead compartment.
The plane was in the air.
"How's your girlfriend?" Emily asked.
"Good."
"What's her name?"
"Anna."
"I take it she's not a wrestler?"
"No she's not." "She's a dancer."
"Oh." She said assuming he meant a stripper. AJ could tell.
"Not that kind of dancer." "A ballet dancer."
"How long have you been together?"
"Three months."
"Do you still live in that same beautiful house in Georgia?"
"Yeah."
"I always loved it there."
"I remember."
"I always hoped you'd ask me to move in."
"Not that I didn't think about it." "I mean we were together for three years."
"I'm just glad we were able to split amicably and remain friends." "With so many people after they go out it's not only the relationship that's broken, it's the friendship to."
"Yeah." "I see it all the time." "It's a shame."
"We had some good times."
"We did."
"Especially in bed." She said smiling. "I'm sure Anna likes what a jack rabbit you are."
"Actually she doesn't know." "We haven't…
"Oh."
"How's your mom?"
"She's fine."
Later that night Anna was at home. Her cell phone started to ring.
"Hello?" She said.
"Hi baby." AJ said.
"Hi."
"I miss you."
"I miss you to."
"Did you get the part?"
"I won't know until next week."
"What are you doing this weekend?"
"I have dance class Friday night but after that I'm free."
"We're doing a few shows in Paris this weekend." "I want you to come."
"You want me to come to Paris?"
"Yeah." "It's a romantic place." "I want you with me."
"I can probably take the redeye flight."
"Do you have a passport and stuff?"
"Yes I do."
That Saturday morning Anna was at the airport in Paris. She went out front to get a cab.
"Hey beautiful." AJ said from behind her. She turned around.
"AJ." She said happily. They kissed and hugged. He took her bags.
"Wanna go to breakfast?"
"Yes I'm starving."
After breakfast they went back to the hotel which was the same one AJ was staying at. Anna checked in. AJ walked her to her room. She was going to take a nap and he had an autograph signing to get to.
"I'll meet you at your car at six." She said.
"Ok." They kissed. "Have a nice nap."
Later that night Anna was at the arena. She didn't know where AJ was. She went to go find a cup of coffee. She eventually found the catering table. Emily was standing next to it. Anna went up and started making her coffee.
"Are you new here?" Emily asked.
"I don't work here but my boyfriend does."
"What's your name?"
"Anna."
"AJ's girlfriend."
"Yeah."
"Hi, I'm Emily."
"I know."
"So you're a ballet dancer?"
"Yeah."
"What's that like?"
"Really fun."
"I have to run but it was nice meeting you."
"Nice meeting you to."
After the show Anna and AJ went out to dinner. She went back to his room after that. It was nighttime.
"I've got to show you my view." He said opening the baloney doors. "Come on." They went outside. Right outside they could see the Eiffel Tower. It was all lit up.
"It's beautiful." She said. They could hear violins in the distance.
"Wanna dance?"
"Sure." He held her close as they danced slowly. "You're a good dancer."
"I'm just glad I can keep up with you." He said smiling. She laughed. "You're so beautiful." They kissed and stopped moving. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him.
"Mmmmm." She moaned against his lips as he lifted her off the ground and carried her inside. They kissed passionately all the way to the bedroom. She felt her back hit the bed. He got off of her and got a condom out of his bag. He came back to her and they started kissing again. Their bodies were right up against each other. She moaned against his lips as she felt his hands inside her shirt. She moaned as he kissed her acrossed her neck. He felt her undo his jeans and pull them down. They both sat up to take off each other's shirts. He unhooked her bra and took it off laying her back down. "Oh AJ." She moaned as he kissed the middle of her chest. He kissed her slowly all the way down her body. He took off her jeans. He went back up to her and they kissed. He looked down at her as he slipped inside her. "Ohhhh." She moaned. He started to move slowly. "Anna." He groaned. "Oh AJ." She moaned. They kissed. After a few minutes he started moving faster. "Uhhhn, Anna." He groaned. "Mmmmmm, yes, yes." She moaned. They kissed. "I want you." He mumbled against her lips. "Ohhhh, my god, ohhhhh, AJ." She moaned giving in. "Oh Anna." He groaned giving in.
Afterwards they were laying there.
"Anna." He said.
"Yeah?"
"I love you."
She looked at him and smiled. "I love you too." They kissed.
